Little Apple Cider may be the smallest puppy in the Harvest Litter, but she is undeniably the bravest and the brightest.

Her silver wolf-gray coat, paired with her striking black mask and those glowing light yellow eyes, makes her a standout in the pack.

But it's not just her appearance that shines—

it's her bold spirit and loving heart.

While other puppies in the litter took their time adjusting to the tunnel, Apple Cider embraced the challenge with enthusiasm.

When Papa Jay placed her into the tunnel, she confidently wagged her tail and emerged, beaming as if to say,

"That was fun! What's next?"

Her excitement wasn't just about mastering the task; it also seemed to be a show of gratitude for the love and fun experiences she’s been given.

Though she’s full of curiosity, Apple Cider also has an endearing gentle side.

She treats her brothers with care and affection, often seen giving them little kisses before curling up beside them.

Whether it's on the wobble board, where she’s impressively steady, or while snuggling up for a nap,

Apple Cider radiates calm and kindness.

She’s not just about play, though.

She’s quick to learn and would make an excellent companion in a home with children or other dogs.

A hike in the woods or a stroll in the park would be right up her alley.

Her eagerness to learn means she'll excel in training classes, no doubt making her future family proud.

All this tiny pup asks for is love, attention, and plenty of tummy rubs.

Show her some affection, and you’ll have a loyal, brave, and loving companion for life.

Apple Cider is waiting for her forever family.

She’s ready to give them all the joy she has to offer.

See how beautiful and brave this little girl is in our newest Movie Monday video.

P.S. To those of you who’ve chosen your new puppy…

I’m still working on the contracts.

You should see them in your email inbox sometime this week.

Hopefully sooner rather than later.

I’ll do my best to get them completed for you so we can move to the next steps.
